Mantax Taxis for Android
But poor service after eventually booking kills it. 20 mins late, strange route, dropped 10min walk from destination and a lot more expensive than any other local company. glad i wasnt going train station. Means this app is not worth the space
It didn't actually manage to book me a taxi. The user interface is really fiddly and looks like it was designed for users in the US-- no postcode support, and offers sample prices in dollars! It lets you book taxis on account, but doesn't let you set up an account. It can email you when your taxi arrives (heaven knows email isn't all that fast) but it can't text you. The search facility is slow, needs to be told whether you're typing a street address or a landmark name, and put the entrance to Salford Royal a hundred yards down the road. Mantax deserves a better app than this.

GPS issue has NOT BEEN FIXED as specified... I made an advance booking and it just says pending...doesn't say confirmed :-( doesnt give info on process. Can I pay by card? Are there any charges? Will I get an SMS or email? Will it change to confirmed?

Works a treat. Booked a cab on it at 1am and watched it's progress to me on google maps. Gives you the cabs reg as well.
Pretty useless app. Constantly being advertised on the local radio here but can't use it as everyone you try to register it says there is a server error. Been trying for months to book a taxi through this and register and it has never worked
Love this. Best way to book a cab. Recommend.
Just ordered my first cab on the app. Watched the dot move down the road to the house how cool. LOVE IT
Makes pre-booking or hailing a manchester black cab really easy. You can even track your taxi's progress so there's no waiting around in the rain. Well worth using, only takes a minute to register and it's free!!
Getting much better now
Street cabs is where it's at. Used this app, found my location, said 10 minutes. Called them 45min later they said they would manually send someone out and call me in 5 min to confirm.... Nothing. Used street cabs and was in a cab in 3 minutes flat.
Had to remove as it was running my battery down on HTC sensation and slowing phone down
Fast and reliable service just got better.
